Yes, I totally realize in every way how this title is obviously promotional. I am totally ok with that, and you will be too. Because Phlearn is FREE.
I make 5 videos a week to help people get better at photoshop and photography. I put my heart into making every episode great. So it is with no shame that I promote something I know will help you.

About this Photo.
This photo is based on the concept of the Phoenix. In its beginning I wanted to go a lot more literal with a woman rising from the ashes and turning into a FireBird. As I got deep into my sketching and research, most of what I saw and drew looked way more comic book than what I wanted. The concept is important, but I wanted to add an element of fine art into it.
The model's name is Darya, and she has been through a lot in the last few months. She just moved to Chicago, and things didn't play out exactly as she'd hoped. Darya is strong. She doesn't let circumstance control her life. She is in the middle of a change, and like a Phoenix, she is shedding her old life, and bursting forth with a new life.
Note. This is a panorama, about 60 MegaPixels. Because Flickr is better suited to portrait vs lanscape orientation, it looks really small. You may view it larger on my Portfolio site if you are into that sort of thing.
After a while, you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul. You learn
that love doesn’t mean leaning,
and company doesn’t always mean security. And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts, that presents aren’t promises; and you begin to accept your defeats with your head up, and your eyes ahead - with the grace of woman, not the grief of a child. You learn to build all your roads on today, because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans, and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.
After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. So you plant your own garden, and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
You learn that you really can endure.
That you really are strong.
That you really do have worth.
And you learn,
and you learn,
with every goodbye, you learn. - Veronica Shoffstall

This whole day was amazing! I wanted to do my take on "Cupid, Reimagined" in this shot. I wanted to show Cupid as someone who, instead of shooting lovers down, collects flowers and teaches people to be the right person to themselves first - not a prerequisite for "love" per se, but certainly for a deep and long-standing love.

Learn from the past,
set vivid, detailed goals for the future,
and live in the only moment of time over which you have any control: now.

it was an idea I had in mind for a while but just folding it today. some people found the snail good in my last picture so I decide to use it again, it's an easy way to fold a snail !
I had an exciting idea to capture the lunar eclipse over the majestic Teton Mountain range. I set off from home at 2:00 am, determined to arrive at the Snake River Overlook in Grand Teton National Park by 4:30 am, just in time for the eclipse’s totality. However, my calculations of the elevation were off, and the moon was too high in the sky to include the mountains in my shot. To make matters worse, the temperature plummeted to a chilly 20 degrees Fahrenheit, and I struggled with shaky hands and a lack of motivation to stay out of the car and capture a stable image. This experience taught me the importance of being well-prepared for the changing conditions of the sky and the unpredictable weather.
In processing this image I did learn that the small bright spot to the left (west) of the Sea of Tranquility is Dionysius crater. This small (11 mile) crater is particularly bright because of it's lighter colored impact ejecta and it is near the Apollo 11 landing site which is just to the southeast in the Sea of Tranquility.
Last winter, we visited Grand Teton NP, for our usual images of wildlife in the snow ... and some winter landscapes as well. We hit various types of weather from blowing blizzard-like snow to gorgeous atypically warmer sunny days. This image was from one of those. See I came across some swans that were taking a leisurely swim in the river. Alongside them were the often overlooked mallards. After some time, my eyes kept returning to the mallards, which were becoming increasingly beautiful to me. This particular one captivated my lens. I just loved the way its head would glisten in the sunrise as it would bob in and out of the water as it foraged for food. Made me realize the power of observation in that as I watched, it became more predictable as to its actions and more intriguing to me. Such a beautiful bird.
Happy Weekend everyone. Hope that you have some fun things planned.

Learn from my mistake!
This one if from the archives, it was taken at the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire in 2007. I posted this photo to demonstrate that it's sometimes necessary to switch over to manual focus from time to time. The lens/camera choose the easy thing to focus, which was the band-aid, but the Newt's head is out of focus. Had I just flipped the switch to manual and moved up 1", I would have gotten a better shot.
Any Comments or Critiques are welcome. What else could I have done differently?
Edit: This isn't a "Newt" per se, but a lizard known as a Anole. More info here:

This one reminds me of something my friend Krista would do. :) She's so good at light, pastel images.
The weather is BEYOND gorgeous here in NJ this week. I don't want it to get humid and hot again but it's coming!! It's been so nice to have the windows open.

Light Painting
Single Long Exposure
The lighting at this breach always amazes me. Sometimes there is little to no light pollution at all,then sometimes there is loads. There appears to have been a fair bit of LP on this particular night but I kind of like the end result all the same.
